Team Urban,
Snow much fun at school!
Reading Logs: For 2nd trimester, I noticed several BLANK reading logs for nightly reading homework. As a result of this, many students had a difficult time making their AR reading goal, or not making their reading goal at all,this last trimester. Just a reminder to students and parents that there should be 4 entries each school week with now 30 minutes of nightly reading each night.
Conferences: As we approach student-led conferences I just wanted to remind parents that ILCS grades on end of year mastery. This means that we are working towards mastery by the end of third grade and report cards are a reflection of where they are with their mastery of 3rd grade standards.
Keep in mind, when looking at assessment logs, the % score is composed of several standards assessed in that test to come up with a total score. For example, a Reading Test score of 80% is made up of several reading/writing standards. Within those standards being assessed, there can be a standard or so that a student is not showing mastery even though an 80% is achieved. Sign and return February Assessment Logs that were sent home yesterday.
